Your Tasks and Responsibilities:
- Prepare and review layout drawings for the project development phase (planning consent, environmental authorization).
- Prepare and align with stakeholders' site access plans considering WTG OEM’s, RWE’s specifications, and project conditions.
- Prepare and align the initial Civil Engineering Balance of Plant for our projects (soil investigation, access, site internal roads, crane platforms, foundations, and substation buildings). Pre-construction design is partially done in-house, partially with support from external engineering service providers.
- Review detailed execution designs, reports, specifications, and drawings, ensuring compliance with national/international standards and project requirements (WTG transport & erection, project consent requirements)
- Liaise with external consultants and review any project design documents prepared by contractors for consistency with project requirements.
- Review off-site road access to evaluate the feasibility of transporting wind turbines, transformers, inverter stations, and other major equipment.
- Participate in site visits to identify critical access points and site internal road and crane hardstands for wind turbine generators.
- Prepare with the Construction Manager the BoP contracting (BoQ preparation, scope description, drawings, Quality documentation) and align on the construction process, especially the preparation of the execution works. If needed, perform site visits during the construction phase to supervise/control the technical compliance with agreed guidelines, specifications, and design.
